Chu Heyi played with Xuetuan for half an hour, then asked Baihua to get a horse from the stable. She rode out through the side door, and Xuetuan ran behind her.

Baihua, who is good at martial arts, followed her, and Nanny Rui also assigned two guards to protect her safety.

Chu Heyi came to the foot of a mountain in the east of the city.

Baihua frowned and said, "Miss, wild animals frequently appear here. Many livestock or children of nearby villagers are often taken away. It is very unsafe. Let's leave quickly."

"We'll be leaving soon." Chu Heyi said, dismounting and reaching out to Xuetuan. The guy skillfully placed his paws in her palms, raised his animal eyes and looked at her, as if asking her what she wanted to do.

"Xuetuan, my brother said you are already two years old. A two-year-old white wolf is equivalent to the age when a girl reaches the age of marriage. Born as a wolf, hunting is your nature and should not be stifled. Doing so will only make you a laughing stock and you will be unable to resist when facing real danger."

Chu Heyi stroked its soft white fur. His elder brother had really tamed it well.

"Xuetuan, now I'm going to put you back into the wolf pack and make you a real wolf."

She led Xuetuan into the mountains. Xuetuan was howling behind her, as if reluctant to leave, but Chu Heyi never stopped walking up the mountain.

Until the sound of animals was heard in front, which was very scary.

Chu Heyi calmed himself down, squatted down in front of Xuetuan, cut the rope on Xuetuan with a dagger, and pointed forward: "Go ahead, there must be your companions ahead."

The snowball let out an "ow" and rubbed her arm and licked her palm with its tongue, but in the end, under Chu Heyi's firm gaze, it still walked towards the depths of the forest.

This trip involves huge risks, but it also involves the freedom of the animals.

As a two-year-old white wolf, it is almost an adult in its life span. Entering the forest like this is equivalent to dividing the territory of its own kind, so a fight is naturally inevitable.

Chu Heyi stood there, watching Xuetuan's figure disappear, until she heard the "wow" sounds of fighting inside, then she quickly ran down the mountain, jumped directly onto the horse, and waited for Xuetuan's "results of battle" on the horse's back.

If Xuetuan was defeated, the wolves would come out following the scent of humans, and she would know that Xuetuan was dead.

If Xuetuan succeeds, he will definitely come out to say goodbye to her.

The howling of wolves, one after another, seemed very desolate at dusk.

Chu Heyi squeezed Ma Fu's legs tightly and said to Baihua and the others, "If it's a strange wolf pack that comes out, we should evacuate immediately!"

Baihua and others responded: "Yes, Miss."

Everybody be on your guard!

The setting sun was like blood, covering the mountain tops. The wind blowing in the spring evening was very cold, and Chu Heyi felt a chill.

Just then, she keenly heard the sound of wolves coming down the mountain, "Everyone get ready."

Baihua and others immediately prepared to spur their horses.

The wolves gradually appeared. Chu Heyi stared at the mountain path, and when he saw Xueqiu pop up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah..." Xuetuan stood in the forest, staring at Chu Heyi from afar, raised his neck and howled, as if to say, "I won."

Its white fur was covered in blood, showing how much fighting it had gone through in the battle for the wolf king.

This was its medal of victory. Chu Heyi was very satisfied and rode away with a smile.

Her snowball will no longer suffer the same miserable fate as in her previous life.

And her destiny will definitely not follow the trajectory of her previous life.

When Chu Heyi returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it was already dark and Nanny Rui was waiting for her anxiously at the side door.

"It's great that the young lady is back safely." Nanny Rui helped her dismount from the horse and asked the guards to take the horse away while she wiped Chu Heyi's hands with a handkerchief.

"It's just that the news that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng wants to cancel the engagement has already reached the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. The old general and the general were very angry when they heard it. The old general even smashed the teacup and said he would go to the palace to seek justice from the emperor. No one can persuade him now."

Chu Heyi said: "I'll go take a look."

At this time, it should be dinner time at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but with the news that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng wants to cancel the engagement, none of the masters at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are in the mood to eat.

When Chu Heyi went to the front hall, she happened to see her father and brother changing their clothes and preparing to go to the palace overnight. Both of them could not hide the anger on their faces, especially her father. Although he had a limp in his right leg, he was still furious and wanted to seek justice for her.

"Sister suffered such a great injustice at the birthday party, why didn't she tell big brother when she came back!" Chu Yi frowned, feeling angry and helpless.

He originally thought that his sister's marriage to Dongfang Shuo was a marriage granted by the emperor and there would be no accidents, so he thought it was not a big deal and did not pay much attention to it.

As a result, I happily sent my sister Xuetuan off in the afternoon, but a short while later I found out that her engagement was going to be broken off!

How could he not be angry!

"Father, brother, please move to the study. I have something to tell you about this matter." Compared to their anger, Chu Heyi seemed very calm.

Er Niang also advised: "Master, why don't you listen to what the child has to say first?"

Chu Zhen and his son suppressed their anger, turned around and went into the study, and Chu Heyi followed them in.

"I'll make you a pot of tea." After saying this, Er Niang went out and closed the door.

Nanny Rui, Baihua and others were guarding outside the door and not allowing anyone to approach.

"Father and elder brother must have known what happened at Madam Zheng's birthday banquet today, so I won't repeat it." Chu Heyi said.

"King Cheng and Chu Runxue have been childhood sweethearts. They have each other in their hearts and it is only natural for them to want to get married."

Chu Zhen frowned, "Runxue and King Cheng grew up together, so it's understandable that they have feelings for each other. But Runxue is not of the Chu family's bloodline. Since she and King Cheng have already consummated their marriage, it's not bad for her to be a concubine! But Your Highness King Cheng must not cancel your marriage because of her!"

Chu Heyi could feel his father's love for him as he listened to his father's words, but he could also sense his father's care for Chu Runxue.

Yes, up to now, my father and brother still don’t know Chu Runxue’s true character.

They even felt that she and Chu Runxue could be as close as sisters and share the same husband, it was just a matter of who was the main one and who was the side one.

"My daughter, don't be sad. Your father will go to the palace and ask the emperor to do justice for you! Your marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng was granted by the emperor! Your mother suffered a lot because of this matter. This marriage is not something he can cancel just because he wants to!"

Chu Zhen was about to stand up, but Chu Heyi pulled him back and sat him down, "Father, please listen to my thoughts first."

Since the person who pulled him was Chu Heyi, Chu Zhen had to suppress his anger and continue sitting in the study.

Chu Heyi said, "Father and elder brother, think about it. Chu Runxue has already held her coming-of-age ceremony, and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng has also reached the age of twenty. If they really couldn't help their feelings for each other, they would have already performed the ceremony of husband and wife. Why did they wait until I was found and brought back to the Chu family to do such a thing at Madam Zheng's birthday banquet?

"If I, the real daughter of the Chu family, had not been found, then Chu Runxue would have been the future noble Consort of Prince Cheng. But I was found. In the eyes of my father and elder brother, it was already good for her to be the Consort of Prince Cheng. But from Chu Runxue's perspective, she went from being the Consort of Prince Cheng to the Consort of Prince Cheng. Even if she didn't consummate the marriage with Prince Cheng, she might even end up marrying a worse wife. How could she accept that?"

Chu Yu frowned and blurted out, "You mean, Runxue deliberately consummated her marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng at Madam Zheng's birthday banquet?"

No, Runxue must not be such a person!
